Amazon Echo can now play all of your favorite Spotify tunes

Amazon has been adding new integrations to the Echo each week, and the latest addition is the music streaming service Spotify. That's right, the Echo can now play your favorite Spotify tunes with a simple voice command instead of only being able to stream it from your phone through a Bluetooth connection. In order to use Spotify on your Echo, you will need to be a paying member of Spotify's Premium service, which you can sign up for a free 30 day trial if you are not already a member.

To access your favorite tunes, you can simply say "Alexa, play Backstreet Boys on Spotify" and the music will begin. This is a huge addition for those who like to listen to music around the house. Is this enough to make you want to purchase an Echo finally? Let us know in the comments.

I hear ya...I've got a fair collection of my own music and what little PRIME offers but miss hands-free, "Alexa" play my collection from something larger than Prime Music. If they added Google Music, that would be great but I may just switch to Spotify.

The Echo is the best product to come out of Amazon and I'm amazed at how good it is. I got one for Christmas and it has become my goto device when I'm home. Those times when I would have pulled out my phone I now just say "Alexa, ..." and it is truly awesome. And the beauty of it is that the functionality keeps growing with new integrations.

I have two Echo's but using my collection and Amazon Prime is just so weak. And I really don't want two music services. So, unless there are rumors they will add Google Music, I may make the switch to Spotify.
